ARE YOU READY

"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."

Matthew 24: 42-44
King James Version

Are we ready to meet Jesus if He should come for us today? There won't be any time to get ready. Jim Hill wrote the beautiful hymn "What a Day That Will Be". It will be a happy day when Jesus comes back for us.

"There is coming a day, When no heart aches shall come, No more clouds in the sky, No more tears to dim the eye, All is peace forever more, On that happy golden shore, What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be, When my Jesus I shall see, And I look upon His face, The One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand, And leads me through the Promised Land, What a day, glorious day that will be.

There’ll be no sorrow there, No more burdens to bear, No more sickness, no pain, No more parting over there; And forever I will be, With the One who died for me, What a day, glorious day that will be."

If you have never admitted you are a sinner, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your heart, do it even as you read this devotion. Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.
